Watch above: Hear from Oilers Taylor Hall, Viktor Fasth and David Perron. Coach Dallas Eakins also speaks about the 4-2 to the Anaheim Ducks.
EDMONTON — Sami Vatanen and Ryan Getzlaf each had a goal and an assist as the league-leading Anaheim Ducks ran their winning streak to six straight games with a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Friday.
Kyle Palmieri and Nate Thompson also scored for the Ducks (20-6-5) who have won nine of their last 11 games.
Tyler Pitlick and Jeff Petry replied for the Oilers (7-18-5) who have lost three in a row and 14 of their last 15 games.
The Oilers are 1-15-4 against Western Conference opponents this season.
Anaheim started the scoring five minutes into the first period as Vatanen walked in from the point on the power play and sent a wrist shot cleanly past Oilers starting goalie Viktor Fasth for his eight goal of the season.
The Ducks came close to taking a two-goal lead 10 minutes later as Andrew Cogliano had Fasth beat, but his shot rang off the post.
